Save output text in automator

So I've got automator to output selected files from the system profiler, and then into a text document.
Now, I want automator to save this text docuemnt.
Searching the Library of actions in Automator for SAVE give me 2 choices and none of them do what I want them to do.

Why is there a Leftover SaveAsXML Dialogue in Acrobat on Save to Text via Automation?

Have written a Visual Foxpro automation routine which creates a PDF from an existing PDF via using the AcroPDDOC object and then Saving it as a Text File via the Javascript object SaveAs routine
Code similar to:
oPDF = CREATEOBJECT("AcroExch.PDDOC")
...Some Insert Code
oPDF.Save()
oJS = oPDF.GetJSObject()
oJS.SaveAs(<FileName>, "com.adobe.acrobat.plain-text")
oPDF.Close()
This routine works correctly. The only caveat is that if Adobe Acrobat X (Windows 7 64 Bit) is running when this routine is run, a leftover SaveAsXML..progress dialog box in the state Checking Tagging is left running in Acrobat which is now frozen.
Is this an Acrobat bug?

Hi George
I was trying to help the previous questioner.
Your script is good and I saved it.
However I think the form is corrupted and would not save the changes and function.
The other person found a solution by doing a document level script and it will save and give the total, but you can retype the total and it will not recalculate unless you change one of the fields the total is derived from.

Web Browser in the output of Report and save the text entered in browser

Hi All,
I am having a requirement that i has to show the web browser in the output of the basic list and i has to save the text entered in the web browser and not the URL.
For example.
if i am displaying the web browser in the basic list of my report.
i am having a field to give the URL and i will the give the URL as WWW.GOOGLE.COM and press enter, then the web page will be loaded in the basic list. i am entering some text in the search area .
let the text may be "SAP-ABAP".
now i has to save the text "SAP-ABAP" in to my database.
So , if you have any suggestions please reply to this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Phani.

Of course there is not going to be any specific example which has been taylored to your exact requirement, which is why you should be looking outside the box. The reason I suggested that program is so that you can see how to allow the user to access a web page and enter a value, and then allow the application server to access this value, which of course can then be stored on the database.
As for you exact requirement, if you are looking to specifically throw a browser with www.google.com in the browswer and have the user enter a value in the search, and then expect that this value be returned to the application which was entered, I don't see a clean/easy way to do this. Why? Because once the user is veiwing google in the browser, it is now out of your control, because that page is not running on your server. Not if google had some API, that would be a different story.

I need to erase the contents of my phone and restore to factory settings. Does anybody know how to save your texts so you don't lose them? Can I back those up to iCloud? My phone was very likely hacked (Apple's advice was to call the police!)

"I need to erase the contents of my phone and restore to factory settings. Does anybody know how to save your texts so you don't lose them? Can I back those up to iCloud? My phone was very likely hacked (Apple's advice was to call the police!)"
That was all I could put in the initial "box." Then it brought me to this page with instructions on how to write a good sentence.
Proceeding ...
After going back and forth between Apple, AT&T and the police (all telling me to go to the other two) I took AT&Ts suggestion and got a new number. One tech warned against doing a backup, especially on my Mac, saying if my phone had been hacked then whatever bug was there would then invade my computer. But nobody knows how to determine if the phone has been hacked or a virus was planted there. Unfortunately I know who would have reason to do such a thing and all I can say is that he is at the top technologically and could easily do it. Almost impossible to prove, however.
So I need to preserve my text messages and my emails as well. I backed up my photos to that Microsoft product (One-Drive) and it froze (Surprise, Surprise) with four short videos to go, and no way of stopping that (when I tried it crashed repeatedly) so I'm in crisis mode here.
Help ...
Running 8.0 on 5S
Thanks!

Betty I don't know if you fixed your hacking problem but I feel your pain. I've seen some strange things going on between my iMac and my iPhone and Apple has told me the same thing, call the police which I have done. The hackers have stole 500.00 out of my checking account have access to every internet account I use and no matter how often I change the password their right back on the account. I closed my FB account 3 times only to have someone reopen it. Right now I've got a link in my reading list (Safari) that if I click on it, it allows me to log onto my FB account anonymously.
I've seen a green folder come out of no where while I was trying to delete my passwords out of keychain when that green folder was put into the key chain I was immediately locked out. I than went into system preferences to try to make changes to my security settings, when I clicked on the icon it wouldn't open. I've seen log files of automator receiving commands and sending out my personal information thats on my computer.
I have a legitamate program called iExplorer that allows you to look at the contents of your iPhone back ups and saw a transaction someone made at the Apple store for some full length movies, some albums, ibooks and other apps but when I called the iTunes store and they said none of those items were showing up on my account. If their not on my account how can they be on my iPhone 6? One day someone was using my gmail account and unknowingly used google maps to search for an Italian restaurant, than a Mexican restaurant than a coffee shop and their search showed up on my iPhone but I didn't have my gmail account installed on my iPhone 6. Using my computer I logged onto my gmail account and looked at the maps history and sure enough there were the searches when I'd hover my curser over the link it gave me the longitude and latitude of the where the hacker was when he was using google maps. I know whoever reads this thinks Im crazy but I've documented everything and can prove the things that I have mentioned in this post actually happened.
One day I had my laptop (pc) and my iMac next to each other as I was using both. when I clicked on airport it showed that my laptop and my iMac had made a connection and were actually communicating with each other. I know I didn't do it I don't know how. The iMac was logged into my iCloud account while my laptop wasn't. I have formatted my iPhone at least a dozen times, Apple and an Apple retailer have formatted my hard drive not to mention the numerous times I have formatted it but the hackers keep getting on my devices. Im formatting my lap top at this very second because during the course of the night I left the ethernet cable plugged into it and they locked me out of my c: drive, and configured the system so I can't download any updates from Microsoft, overtime I type in www.microsoft.com it changes to ww38.microsoft.com which takes me to a blank page. I right clicked on the page I was redirected to and read the java script and couldn't believe that someone had actually configured Internet Explorer to redirect me to a blank page when I tried to go to Microsoft. Apples answer to all this is there was nothing wrong with my iPhone or my iMac and if I thought there was a problem to call the police which I have done.
Theres no doubt the hackers are reading this while I type it or will read it and I simply don't care anymore. I no longer email anyone, don't use my iCloud account and have taken precautions to protect my credit but if I ever find out who has invaded my privacy to this extreme the police are going to want to talk to me because Im going to hurt them like they've never been hurt before

Save Output to: setting not being saved

This has been driving me nuts for a couple of years, so I figured I'd finally ask if anyone else sees this behavior.
My script grabs a PDF and converts each page to new, separate, PDF files using a custom name and number. There are three components: Ask for Finder Items, PDF to Images, and Make Finder Item Names Sequential.
My problem appears in the PDF to Images part. I have the "Save Output to:" setting set to a folder ON my desktop (Outbox). Every time I open the script it has reverted to "Save Output to: Desktop". I can change it, run the script from within Automator, and it works fine. If I save it (or save-as), when I next open the script, it will have reverted to Desktop. I have tried every iteration I can think of to get it to remember to store the files in the correct folder, but it just won't save this setting.
I am in the habit of just opening the script first, and changing the setting, then running the script before I have closed it, so this is no big deal -- but it does make it two more steps, which kinda defeats the whole purpose of automator.

Understood, but you mentioned scripts and AppleScript is used extensively with workflows. If there aren't any in yours, then all I can suggest is peruse http://www.automatedworkflows.com/tips/podcast.html
Also, see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2039384 and Introduction to Automator tutorial at http://automator.us/leopard/video/index.html

Table Output text tool tip does not update on PPR

We have a adf table with a Lov and a out put text .
On changing the LOV, the out put text also change . but, on we mouse over on the tool tip does not changed . any suggestions ?
below code :
<af:outputText value="#{row.PlanTitle}" id="ot4" partialTriggers="soc3 si2"/>
However , if we refresh the table or reload after save , the toop tip also get change . but we need to update the tool tip on change the lov . any suggestion ?
Jdev : 11.1.1.3.0
browser : all ,

Hi,
taking it from:
+"However , if we refresh the table or reload after save , the toop tip also get change . but we need to update the tool tip on change the lov . any suggestion ? "+
The autput text component is part of a table ? If so then the table needs to be refreshed as the values in there are stamped. If I am wrong with my table assumption and the output text is part of a form, try setting clientComponent="true" for the output text field

Why can't I "Save as Text" a pdf file received as an email attachment?

I can "Save as text" a pdf file which I have created in my own computer (that is, it goes into MS notebook that I then can Copy and Save as an MS Word file) but not when I receive a pdf as an email attachment. (The file is saved, but it is empty.) Why would I want to convert my own pdf back to text? Well, in case I no longer have the original Word document I suppose, but the thing is "Save as text" works with my pdf, but not with those I recieve from others. How come? Thanks!

Is this a scanned PDF? If so, it must first be OCR'd.

Save as text not working

When I try to save a PDF as text, my document is empty. Also, it appears I only have the option of saving as accessible text, not plain text. I am using the latest version (8.1.2). Anyone able to do this successfully?

I have found this does work, but only with Acrobat Pro. You must use save as, accessable text (plain text doesnt work with the document that I have been using).
I have tried the SAVE AS TEXT option with Adobe Reader, versions 6, 7 & 8. I wonder why that option is even available.

Save as text and reader mode

Firefox needs a save as text setting. There is a save as text add on. However, twice the add on ceased working. Twice, I had to uninstall firefox, reinstall firefox and reconfigure the settings.
In the alternative, Firefox needs a 'select text' in its settings. The stock android browser has 'select text' in its settings. Click on 'select text', touch webpage, two arrows appears, spread arrows apart, touch screen, a pop up menu offers: share selected text or copy. I select copy. Open 920 text editor, create a new plain text file and then touch screen.. However, text is not copied. I have to repeat this whole procedure several times because text is copied into a new plain text file.
Whereas, Firefox cannot even bring up the pop up menu. I long press a paragraph in firefox. The two arrows appears. I spread them apart. I touch the screen. No pop up menu offering open to copy.
Nor is reader mode an alternate to saving as text. I have not be able to save a webpage in reader mode because the book icon is rarely displayed in the title bar. Why? Firefox's article on reader mode does not disclose what file format the files are saved as. Can the reader mode files be converted to plain text files or PDF to be later read on a computer?

Hi badbiosvictim,
I see in the device information that you are running version 21. There were some improvements made in Firefox since then and I encourage you to see if the update helps resolve your copy and paste issue.
However there is also save page as pdf that you can save on the device and read in a file reader.
I hope this helps!

Iterate over some output text in a panel Grid

Hello folks
Are any of you doing something like this in JSC
<code>
<%
for (int i = 0; i<4; i++)
%>
<h:panelGrid bgcolor="gray" binding="#{Page1.gridPanel1}" id="gridPanel1" style="height: 73px; left: 0px; top: 120px; position: absolute" width="216">
<h:outputText binding="#{Page1.outputText1}" id="outputText1" value="Author"/>
<h:outputText binding="#{Page1.outputText2}" id="outputText2" value="Summary"/>
<h:outputText binding="#{Page1.outputText3}" id="outputText3" value="Article link"/>
</h:panelGrid>
<%
%>
</code>
What I'm trying to do is something like data table, except that I want to have control over where the output text goes, and how it is presented.
In data table all I get is a predefined table (I�m unable to format it the way I would like) so lets do it the old way - link some output text to a database or maybe an array which holds the "data" then loop over it x number of times to display the content kind of like this
For (less than x times) do
Author name
Date article written
Summary article
Link to more of the article
This would be the way I used to this, now I�m curios how this is done using JSF
<% loop here %> does not mix well in Creator, error not well formed
I�m unable to format a data table in any respect except number of rows and stuff
So Any suggestion on how to really do this effectively in JSC/JSF
Thanks Bjorn

Hi,
Actually, you have quite a bit of flexibility with the Data Table component.
You can add more than one component to a column,
and you can use an outputText component to hold
HTML formatting tags, such as <br>.
Note: you must uncheck the escape attribute.
And since the data table component produces an HTML <table> tag,
you can also control style with additional style sheet classes (see Tor's blog).
For an example of using the Data Table component
to display the resuts of the Google search web services,
See Beyond the Book at this URL:
http://www.asgteach.com/download/beyond.pdf
The relevant description is section A.5 beginning on page 24.
Hope this helps.

In adobe 9.5 reader. File/save as text does not work.

I have adobe 9.5 reader. If I do file/save as text I always get an empty .txt file. What is wrong?

It looks like you are correct! They do appear to be scanned pages, but the icon that shows bfore the file name is Adobe & if I try to use the Open with option only Adobe is allowed. No wonder it confused me. Thank you for your help!
